ILLINOIS FORESTRY ASSOCIATION 



The Illinois Forestry Association was organized in April, 1922, 

 as an outgrowth of the work of the Central States Forestry League 

 in mobilizing forestry sentiment in the Central States. The Associa- 

 tion has been generally active in arousing sentiment throughout 

 Illinois and has succeeded in bringing together allied interests in 

 support of the movement. It supported the passage of a bill at the 

 1923 session of the State Legislature providing authority for the 

 Department of Agriculture to acquire and otherwise set aside as 

 State Forests lands chiefly valuable for the production of timber. 

 This measure also provides authority for the creation of nurseries and 

 the setting aside of game and fish sanctuaries in these areas. 



The Association is supporting a bill for the establishment of a 

 Forestry Division at the Agricultural Experiment Station of the 

 University of Illinois to carry on investigations for the improvement 

 of the forest situation of the State. The principal officers of the 

 Illinois Forestry Association are: Dr. Henry C. Cowles, Professor of 

 Botany, University of Illinois, President; Boiling Arthur Johnson,
